Is not too differnt from shopping in our world. While there are no great elaborate shopping malls to be found, there is one company that comes close. The Adventurers’ Warehouse has sprawling buildings with a myriad items available. Simple items such as arrows and quivers are commonplace enough, and relatively inexpensive. They also have rare and magical items found nowhere else in all Terra. Their home building is in Corellon, a large two-story and sprawling establishment. They have smaller buildings on every continent on Terra, except Ni-Shan.
Aside from that, most businesses are small and family owned. Their wares are more focused than The Warehouse. There are tailors, cobblers, and the like. There are also weaponsmiths and armorers. A handful of alchemists have shops throughout Terra, as do a several artificers. The occasional mage offeres a plethera of potions and scolls.
In Iskenderun, restaurants are just starting to take hold. Most ready-made food is sold from carts on the corners. Farmers set up their carts in the market to sell their crops.
Meanwhile, nearly everywhere else in Terra, restaurants are a regular occurance. Stalls and carts selling food are also commonplace. Ni-Shan is also infamous for its massive fish markets.
Only a few countries in Terra still practice slavery and so there are markets for those as well. It is generally frowned-up by most civilized societies. However, where the sale of flesh is concerned, prostitution is a buslting business across Terra. Most countries strongly encourage some form of protection against unwanted pregnancies, as well as regular examinations against diseases. Iskenderun is among the most prominent countries, for taking care of its sex-workers. Most others strive to reach their level of wellness.
Livestock and domesticated animals are sold by breeders and farmers alike, all across Terra. Sometimes they are brought to market, while other times purchasers deal directly at the farm or breeding facility.
Armorers, weaponsmiths, jewelers, and the like have their own shops, usually with forges or smelting facilities built directly onto the back of the building. More often than not, they make items as they are ordered, though they do have a handful of basic wares available. These, however, are usually of lesser quality than custom pieces. Cobblers, tailor, coutouriers, and such are the same way. They offer lower-quality items “off the rack” while individually sized items require a day or two and a few extra coins.
Alchemists, wizards, warlocks, and certain orders of the priesthood have shops or magical items for sale. Healing spells come in potion form and vary in price depending on the strength of the spell. The same with other such potions. Spell scrolls can become costly, quickly, especially when seeking darker magics from warlocks. Most magic-users will enchant anything that is of masterwork quality, or better. This service is always expensive. Corellon is the only city in all Terra where such services are significantly less costly, as it is the magic capital of the world. Countless wondrous items can only be acquired in this magical metropolis as well.
